Jumping right in on a Thursday. It's Barnburner. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the program. We need like a Alberta's Calgary's number of the something number four podcast in the beltline in Calgary that talks about sports and bologna. The top meat and gravy podcast from Marta Loops Construction Apocalypse. Yeah. You could go. I could whip something up for you real quick. Jacket on that, would you? I just don't know what data would we feed it. You know, it's okay, so give us the correct. So we're going to have the right prompts.

You do Monday to first or five daily. Daily. It's usually around the same time. It's about food and sports and grumpy old dads. Within a 30 minute kind of window, sometimes it's later than that. Yeah, it's hockey food, bitching, arguing. FMOLM. facial hair. Medicine.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. Pseudoscience. That sort of thing, yeah. Yeah. Fitching. Alligators. Work on that,

a jack? Thanks. Back to us. Great. So that podcast is what, that's what you're, did you know that I was listening to something the other day,

the people who podcast don't like those who put video and do kind of what we're doing, they're doing a YouTube show. Yeah, we are. You're doing, that's, you're not doing a podcast. Oh. A podcast is audio only.

That's audio when you're having your, so what are we doing? I don't know. I guess we're a dirty bunch of, we're a dirty bunch of, uh, liars and cheats. Well, and some people only consume this show by audio that would be a podcast to them. Yeah.

But to our loyal YouTube commenters, super chatters and watchers, uh, they're like, this isn't a podcast. This is a show. It's interesting. I've still. people that I didn't even know that you could get the audio only. I didn't know that that that was a thing. And when we started, it was like, well, it's an audio thing and I guess we could do video. Look how far we've come in. Yeah, it looked like shit. I went and saw some of the

early episodes. We'd come a long way. So with how great it looks now. Yes. Highlights from back in the day. Something like that. It's, uh, you'd be surprised. This YouTube show that could also be downloaded all you only podcast form is a presentation of Bet, Bet, 365. There's So proud. Whatever your bet is, it's never ordinary at Bet365. Download the app. Get in and the game official partner of the Stanley Cup playoffs. You must be 19 or older.

And, whoo! Youth Centers of Calgary. Find out what that number is too. How long have we been doing this? I think we brought them on in the fall. Yeah. We do have to sift through and find that. Anyway, because what happens is if you're watching,

again, it's a lot of it's kind of confluent. If you're not listening, you got to be watching. If you're watching, then that's the only way you can do it. It's true. It's a special treat for those that are dialed in. Anyway, it's a super chat. And money gets to the U-S centers of Calgary or the other. Fellas, how are we doing?

It is Thursday. It's a big day. Yeah. How would we, you're in Buffalo, New York. How are the Bufflonians? Are they all excited about Game 4? Is there a lot of hype? I don't know the Buffaloans are.

excited about game four no they are good hockey fans buffalo routinely draws the highest ratings of markets that aren't in the final in the u.s but again it's still nowhere near the bills well i was going to say i thought i heard something about some kind of camp that players have to attend for football so it kind of takes the o t a's all the sporting enthusiasm goes towards that yeah and you only have so much oh U.S. Open start today, Rhett? You been paying attention? No.

It's early. It's Thursday. It's around one. Just getting started. It's just really started. Sheffler hasn't teed off yet. So, I don't know. So really, there you go. Has it really started hasn't? What the hell's going on with the Colorado Rockies?

Just crushing wins left and right. Yeah, they went from the worst team of all time to legends. Good for them. So proud. They're not willing to be a laughing stock. They looked around the room and they, you know what they did? They took a long, hard look in the mirror. accountability yeah that's what i love about the rockies we try to avoid that here

personally a lot of finger pointing uh let's get into it our opening statements are presentation of mccloud law excuse me macloud law do you uh is the litigator of the year available lot it Shane king a partner in the litigation and dispute resolution group there's any number of reasons why you might need legal help and the long and short of it is, whatever that is, it's all McLeod law. They have the best in the business specializing in whatever the issue is. I didn't know, do you need someone from the litigation and dispute resolution group? You have no idea to what happens.

But then something's gone sideways. Oh, geez. You're the litigator of the year. You're Shane King. You're at McLeod Law. Yeah, that's how it goes. Practical approach, plain language. I know that legal mumbo jumbo.

Yeah. That's what I like about Shane. We were talking to him at the draft. He was there. It's like, you know what, Shane? There's no mumbo-jumbo when I talk to you. It's just kind of down the middle. Straight talk.

That's what I appreciate about you. So we get into it today. It is game for the Floridians and the Edmontonians down in sunrise at the, it's that rink? Amaranth Bank. Bryce Van Brabant. Yeah.

arena down in sunrise. What was it when we went there? It was named something else. It was PP. No, that's PPG paints as Pittsburgh. It was BBC. No, that was something else I was watching. Really?

Anyway, game four tonight, two one series lead for the Florida Panthers. Oh, it feels like a big one tonight. I've watched other podcasts or whatever they want to call themselves, whatever the terminology is. I don't want to wrinkle, rankle feathers. YouTube shows. Ruffle feathers.

others. Raffle? Rinkle. Ruffle and rankle. I'm led to believe this is the series tonight. Okay. This is the biggest game of the season. It's not about staving, but some say it may as well be for the Oilers. That if the Panthers can find a way here, that this is, they've pretty much punched their ticket. If the Panthers are unsuccessful and the Oilers win, then look out because a game five back up there at the Hippo. tank. That's almost a guarantee the other way. Overwinst tonight is going to be favorite to win the series. And if it's Florida, it's going to be heavy, heavy, heavy favorite. Yeah. Does it feel, we're led to believe that at two to one, this,

that the series hinges on this game tonight. Is that, do you see it that way, retro? I don't know. You could definitely argue it. I mean, I get caught because if Florida wins, I'm like, oh, yeah, it's over. But then you go back to last year and you go, wait a minute. If going back to Edmonton is a guaranteed Edmonton, then the series is over. Yeah, then that's, yeah. Wait, if you're, you know, an unbiased observer or maybe, do you know one?

Oh, yeah. Is there possibly anyone in your, we're journalists. I know the three of us are just a little open for a good game. but let's say you did want the Panthers to come out ahead in this. Uh-huh. You wouldn't want to go back to Edmonton tied to two with two of the next three games at the Hippo tank. Right. You've done very well against Edmonton in Florida.

You've neutralized their top guns in Florida much more than you have on the road. And if you look at last year's final, much better in Florida than they were in Edmonton. You're going to want to take care of some business tonight. You know, if you were one of those fans that's cheering. for one of these teams, not just observing like we do as journalists. I would say this. I feel like an oiler win almost guarantees us a game seven in my mind. It's like, okay, well, that makes a two to two.

And then they're both probably good for another win somewhere along the way. That gets you to a game seven back in Edmonton. But I do feel like three to one. The Oilers did win three straight. They've shown they can do it. But last year was last year. This year is this year. I don't know that any team wants to try and win three in a row against that.

I don't know that any team will win three in a row against Panthers. And I don't know if the Panthers haven't gone through it last year could do it again, given that they had a lot of distractions to deal with. They understand now that the fourth close-out game is going to be the hardest. It's all about the barber. It is. Barber's got to shut the door. It's been great.

Games two and three, I thought it was sensational. Yet a lot of the talk today is about the other net. Yeah, because we didn't know who was going to. Skinner or Pickard. Now, you were saying before we came in, you were kind of letting Reddenau that there's been some subterfuge, some real kind of. Checannery is the word to use.

Unsavory behavior. Wow, just a lot of misdirection and tomfoolery. Yeah. Really trying to get the Panthers off the scent. Because if they don't know who's starting tonight, I mean, they're screwed. Their game plan changes? Huge.

Yeah. Okay. So what, I mean, if that goalies weren't a different number, our whole plan goes out the window. So two days ago on the heels of the last game, the beat down, the thrashing, the next day, the first of two off days was supposed to be a

off of relaxation for the Oilers. They showed up and practiced. No days off, right? And then yesterday, and what it is is the media gets the heads up. They're told, here's what the schedule is going to be for you, media folk who are here working.

And they were led to believe, that this is there's no, this is an optional kind of a deal. If it, there's no practice. And then the Oilers did it again. They skated full practice. So they have practiced in full both days when it seemed like maybe the, the message being sent was the other way around. And this is the substitute.

This is some subterfuge. What this morning? They had Calvin in the starters. Cal was in the starters net, but you can't fool Mark Specter. And he said, on now. They might just be trying to mess with the the Panthers. Pickard and Starters net, but

that could be an intentional mislead. Period. Or not. Period. There you go. I like that last sentence. Or not. It's a short one, but it means a lot. It does. That's almost, that's Pike Bomb. Yeah, but good thing we got Elliot on the case. He's down there hanging out in his Speedo by the pool. Less subterfuge. Getting some vitamin D. He's

cutting through the crap and reporting that Skinner will start, which means Cal will be working the gate again. It's a good night to be a Skinner. The other Skinner gets in, too. Boy, it was this third game of the playoffs? I hope Mom and Dad are there. They've been flying around a lot trying to watch a play a game. God damn it.

And Arvinson comes out. Speaking of Elliot, I did text him yesterday. Really? Yeah. And he hates you. Did he respond? Oh, you hate him, isn't that it? This again might be subject.

I said to him, I'm worried about your delicate skin under all of that Florida sun. I hope you're taking the proper precautions. He replied, I appreciate your concern. I am. So that's good to know. Yeah, because Gene Principi. Yeah, he's, uh, you can hear him glowing from here. He's bubbling still.

Yeah. When he's on the broadcast. You can't mess around with that sun retro down there, eh? Oh, it's serious shit. Yeah. Okay. So when you were in the final in 96 and Florida, You're playing in downtown Miami.

How shitty was that ice? How hot was it? What do you remember about? Yeah, they had the fancy dehumidifiers and all that stuff in there. Sure, it worked great. What I remember is we had to park across the street, which was dangerous in its own rights. But then there'd be fans outside to sign autographs, which there's no way these guys would do that nowadays because they're a bunch of prima donnas.

But we would have to walk across it. Scroodland had a rule. You signed everybody's autograph. And by the time you got to your vehicle, you needed a new shirt. It was so hot and humid. What about the swass? Just the shirt or? Yeah, you didn't have those air conditioned seats either nowadays.

Right. Right. Oh, no of that. Just brewing a soup in there. Bottom of your seats. So, I mean, Skinner goes back in net. It's not a huge shock.

It's what we expected, but I did wonder. Because I think they like Cal more than they lead on. Oh, yeah. I, you know what? I think if this is an elimination game, it might be different. I will say, I think that that's a potentially a short leash. I agree 100%. Yeah, Skinner's in until there's a bad goal.

And then I think he's gone. It's not going to get to 4-1. No. Or something like that before Chuck Knoblock there makes the call down the bench. Chuckie. I'm kind of surprised. I don't know. We've talked about it for two days now.

But just listening to other people, I didn't think that, Skinner's performance was quite as bad until I listened to others. Like Jamie talked about him yesterday and some other guys. The first goal was not good. And the timing of the Reinhardt goal, but it is Sam Reinhardt. A guy's a 50 goal guy. Put him a little mail slot there.

It's just at the other end. You're getting a guy to make a safes he shouldn't make. And now you're wondering about should he have made this save or not with Skinner. And it's like, yeah, there's a significant edge in net. So we're probably going to talk about their other options. That's a tough way to critique your own goaltending, though, when you have, you know, how good your goal he is really isn't, it'd be great if he was as good as the other guy who's very good.

You'd have cups. But you have to, of the two goalies we have, who gives us our best chance to win? Who's the best, you know, Skinner to this point has been quite good. This was really the first kind of speed wobble since Pickard came in in the LA series. Anyway, um, yeah, and the team's been really good in front of them since the LA series. everyone kind of fucked the dog on game three for the rules, which is kind of why we're like, yeah,

status code makes sense. I didn't really focus on Skinner so much. There's another puck in the net. It was just such a team-wide night off. Yeah, they got almost identical numbers at this point. What's your vibe, Brett? We talked with noodles about it yesterday,

about how quick can you walk, how you bounce back from can you just flush a game like the other night? And it's still two to one series. and that's all that matters, is that the case for players? Because I know that when you're, you're not outside in the, you know, the fan parking lots and you're not going to the malls. You're pretty isolated. Those, you're inside your hotel. You're focused.

You're what you're doing your thing. It is a two one series lead when they show up to the rank tonight. Or is that media speak? I just wonder how the player mentality, which I don't have because I, I, I, I'm, I'm not. It's just you don't want to go down three to one. That's it, right? It's just we're going to play a game. Yeah, you don't.

That's the beauty of the playoffs. You don't have to get, as a player, what do you got to focus on? One thing. My next shift, probably. Probably that's all that matters, because we can win that shift and then the next shift and add that up and win a game, it's two, two, going back to Edmonton. Like, I don't think, I brought it up with Nudu, you guys are listening.

I'm like, I actually think the time off benefits Florida more, that extra day. Because I feel like if you go out win 6-1, you could get a little fat and sassy. And Edmonton's in the desperation mode. And maybe that extra day gives you time to re-focus. But you're splitting hairs.

This is just stupid us media, trying to talk about things because we've got two days in between games. Like, for the players. Travel makes a little more sense, right? Because you spend a whole day on a podcast. plane you're going opposite sides of the continent to each other here but they do it

for whatever reason in Florida I think that's the reason the other skated the last season like what the hell else they're not going to the mall they're not checking into Disney world for a day like they got nothing to do they don't want to be in public getting bothered like let's eat three hours by going to a rink and the coach probably was like what do you

this is not a coach I can't imagine old Chuck's walking in going you're practicing what do you guys want to do yeah well we got all they're Okay, let's go to the rink of Prack. Who cares?

This is not hard skates, not being put through the paces. Physical activity. The team was talking about doing more of. This is, yeah, this is rather than walk the waterfront or the beach, we're going to go to the rink and get on the end. Because I was curious what you would think about that, because I know especially now, and you've lived it when you go through the rigors of the playoffs, how rest is so important.

And here are the Oilers. opted for to whatever degree, they opted to go out and sweat and get, get on their skates again in lieu of just relaxing or stretching. So I didn't know what you're supposed to. I guarantee if somebody had went into Chuck's office and said, listen, I don't feel like skating. That's fine.

Chuck was not going to bring the hammer down on him. So that's fine. Then you're out of the lineup. Like you skater. I don't think that Newt, Hopkins has been skating at all. So, yeah, it's that time of year. Do what she did to be ready for the game tomorrow.

Is there any word on D changes on what they're? Yeah, they're going to have Stetcher in, Klimberg out, which is what we speculated yesterday. Stature's been a good pair for Darnell Nurse, but Klimberg was very good before the Florida Forecheck got to him. It's a big, big test. You love the moxie and the character of Stetcher, but he's slotted where he's slotted over the last five years in the league

because that's what he is, and that's kind of a six-seven. So can Florida exploit that or is he fresh legs and the right sort of security blanket for Darnell who's been awful? It's so much about the two headed snake for the Oilers. Can McDade, no shot attempts for Leon Dry Sidel the other night, which is crazy. They had power plays in that first period. He didn't get a shot attempt. We talked about it yesterday. Everyone's talked about it how in Florida, specifically McDavid, but obviously Lee,

on, they've been able to kind of harness, though, if those two can't break free of the shackles, and I don't like their, their chances, it's kind of one of those, again, it's media, but can the star, can they break through, the star players? This is a, this is a game, a statement game for these two guys, the whole thing, which not to let everybody off the hook, but it does feel like if your secondary scoring that we've talked about, Arvinson, scoring, scoring, you know that Heimann is out and Cappan all these other guys have gone quiet

then yeah you need your horses to get going it's not fair but that's the world that they're in That's how the team's built right That's what it is If they if you know They don't have Dylan Holloway here That'd be a helpful piece

They're going to stetcher they don't have a Broberg Like it's a team that's top heavy And the bottom has been very good Through rounds one through three It hasn't been in the final Where they over their skis a bit rounds run through three probably have they been better than the stats have shown in this series probably but they've been caved in and when you've got a third line that's got listerine and lundell and bradmarshand

i'm sorry when you're spending what you're spending on the two big guns it's tough to compete with that like who's on emin to third line yeah i said it's macdavit and and dry sidel or it's bobrowski i'm trying to find me a star like and it's not that the other the bottom guys can't on either team can't make a difference. And it would be welcome from either coach to have, again, your third and fourth lines contributing and getting goals and this. But you're not going into a game, setting the tone without your top guys.

Brovowski's average. Edmonton's probably win. If McDavid and Drysaitle can't get shots, Lard is probably going to win, right? Like it doesn't have to be a complicated process here. the top guys get paid the big money because they're supposed to produce in the big stage. And here's the challenge for them, right? They haven't done it in Florida.

It doesn't, yeah, I get that it's the huge challenge. But that's, you're either going to do it or you're going to be down 3-1 and get in your pants. And so it's not like the stakes haven't been high the prior five games they played in cup finals in Florida. They have two even strength goals total, those five games combined. that's wild right like florida for whatever reason at home has been able to stymie smother stifle the oilers offense uh yan mark and mac david are the only two oilers that have scored an even strength in the last five stanley cup games in florida between these two clubs that's like eye popping to me two yeah and so if that's the case you better do more with power play chances than you did in games two at home

and three in Florida. You had four power plays in the first period in game number three. You had a chance not just to tie a game, but to have a lead after 20 minutes. Yeah, it was back and forth. There wasn't a lot of good flow. Yes, some of them were overlapping with others, four and four here and there. But the Oilers did not make the most of their power play opportunities in game three. And it seems looking at history that if it's going to happen for them on the road in Florida, it's going to have to be on the back of the power play because they haven't shown an ability to score against this team at even strength. Well, I hope that's crazy, right, that you would be pointing at the Oilers power play

saying you. Not that hasn't been good. It's just that Bobrovsky blocker save. Like, it just needs to score. The process doesn't matter anymore. You're up against it here. You need goals if they're ugly or not. You can have zone time for two minutes and eight posts.

Like, it's just goals here. Process is too late, right? And again, not that they didn't get power plays. last game, but I'm just thinking out loud. Is having that many penalties in the first period a detriment to a team like Edmonton where they can't get into the flow of the game? You know what I mean? Like I picture Florida is more able to muck and grind.

There's less flow about it, not that they don't play with speed and pace and all that shit, but are all those penalties that were called in the first period of the last game a detriment or a bonus for the, like it should be. a positive for a for a power play but there were some overlapping this and that i i kind of anyway i guess what i'm saying is i hope the refs get out of the damn way and we don't have to see so many penalties yeah i'd agree to that it is yeah i mean it is kind of crazy they've scored a power play goal per game but it hasn't i mean they won game one so it it was enough but the the one power play goal they got was in overtime in game one leon's in game two perry scored

even strength, but it was actually six on five because the goal he was out. If you remember, they tied it so late. And they had one power play goal there. And then the only goal, Perry's was a power play goal the other night. Oiler power play. The thing that we have cursed from afar for years and years. Yeah, that's not a tall ask, is it? Hey, this group that's got, you know, multiple superstars, got an extra man on the ice.

That's, that's, they're going to need it tonight. It's the thought. And you don't worry about anything with Florida. Go play the same way. Go play. Oh, yeah. Yeah. If you're Florida, do what we do.

Like honestly, the stats just said it. They've had five games against Edmonton in that building in the Stanley Cup final. Whatever you've been doing has worked. So it's not time to reinvent the wheel. Yeah. We do forget a little bit. And you brought it up yesterday. You kind of give it throughout.

You forget. We were pretty impressed with Edmonton in game one. It was an overtime game. Could Florida have won it? Of course they could have. Absolutely. it could have gone the other way, but they were very good in game one. And then it started to shift in game two and then game three.

It was all Florida. I don't know. This is what, what Oilers team? What are you? Have you turned the page a little bit? We'll give you game three. Those games happen. The best teams in all of sport can lay an egg.

Lots of pressure the whole thing. Tonight feels like more of the, are you different? Have you changed? Is this what you've shown? That's what's confusing to me about the whole series, is that yes, they won game one. And I felt like I felt like they kind of controlled the play.

But also I said, Florida could be up three nothing again. Yeah. They're up three to one halfway through the game. And they don't screw those, those up. Well, they've done it once in forever. Like, it's not something they do. If they're up, they win. Game one. Bob let one in.

It was a muffin. Was that Arvinson one? And so I agree. that Edmonton's had some, especially in Edmonton, long stretches where they've controlled a lot. But you just think if Bob doesn't let that muffin in, like, it's probably 3-0 here. But you can play the other game where it's like Edmonton, if they get an overtime goal and Bob wasn't so great in game too, they could have been up two O coming to Florida. It's been two coin tosses and a blowout.

And I think we're going to see some more coin tosses before the C years is over. It's, to me, it's always the mark of a great team where you can not play your best but still win. maybe that's been Florida they've played their best in one game one they weren't at their best nearly one and then it was far more even in game two and they got they did get it done um almost like it was like the chiefs right when last last year watched the chiefs like they're i don't think they're very good get to the super bowl they didn't win it but still they're that's what good teams find a way to do i might watch it i don't know it's going to be hard i got kid baseball i I don't like watching.

Very busy. Better watching, not live. Blood pressures a little lower. Nelly about it. Puzzles done. I'm not sure what I would do to. Yeah.

Well, you got time. Do you have another one? Do you need one? I probably got a hunter or so. You need a good baseball and a fiesta. It'll be on it tonight. You got tonight. Nothing tonight.

Apparently it's one of the kids put a request in for food. Crablakes. King Crabbs. Is that a normal request that's received as like, yeah, okay. Or is like, you know, this is Buffalo. There aren't king crabs in that lake over there. Yeah, I don't know. For some reason, they're on the $300 a pound crab legs.

Right. Is it the same kid? Because didn't he want crab legs before? Wasn't there a request? Somebody requested crab legs and then we had them. And then the one kid missed out on them because he was at a party. I left out. Oh, okay, yeah.

And now this kid's like, F that. I need the crab legs. Because I remember you sent in the group chat the photo of the bag of crab legs that you went and purchased after the show that day. Did we see a price tag on that? There was. Yeah. Wasn't cheap. I think it just said cheap.

Yeah. My kid likes casserole. Dad, do you make that casserole? Anytime, buddy. Sure. Yeah. The one with like spaghetti sauce and macaroni in it. Yeah, we can make that.

high-end living, high-end living. Rhett, you're old, right? Before I get into that, coming up, it's now less than a week away. Next Wednesday, it is the origin brewing inaugural golf tournament out in Strathmore. We are going to be there. There will be a programming note about Wednesday's show. I don't think it'll be a show as you've come to know it. We'll be in Straff.

For Stratth, Stratth Vegas. Yeah. And I have it on good authority that the menu will be steak, potato salads. Baked potato. Not potato salad.

Potatoes and salad. Okay, good. Steak baked potato salads. Good. Still time to get in. If you'd like, Wednesday, 1 p.m. Scramble out at the Strathmore Golf Club. You can register at either origin tap

room. There is, obviously, there's the one in Calgary. There's the one in Strathmore. Just go and say, hey, I was thinking, I feel like scrambling on Wednesday. I bet they'll find a spot for you. 11.30 check in. Shotgun start at 1 o'clock. Jack, what's a shotgun start? When they shoot a shotgun at the start of the golf game. Right, right. Is it to like kill the birds?

It's a scare the geese off. No, I'm not killing anything. I don't think. They're just letting you know what's starting. 18 holes, cart, steak, dinner. with baked potato and salads, whole prizes and 100% of the proceeds to the Sutter Benevolent Fund. You're saying salads. Like there's going to be multiple salads?

I bet you there's a Caesar option. Broccoli salad? I can ask. It felt like my contact was maybe, felt like he'd maybe kind of pass that off to somebody else. Right. Maybe the golf course is dealing with the menu. Maybe.

Probably. Who's to say? Yeah. I would bet there's going to be some origin beers to be had. There might even be some Barnburner blonde kicking around. I would think there's going to be a lot of that. Yeah. I'm going to do my best to make a dent in that pile.

I was going to say, Strathmore is not in Calgary. Who's driving me? I don't know. A.M.A. or whatever you called to get your tire. That's right. Yeah. Whatever. Towing service. Who's got a truck? I'll get in the back because you're not going to want me in the cab.

I get it. Yeah. I have a thing I need to be back for that night. Okay. Tell my wife about this thing. Yeah. How am I getting there? How am I getting home?

What shape will be in when I get home? things that it's real you know what it doesn't concern you people by wednesday morning we'll have a hotel room lined up for strathmore it's gonna be all good yeah we'll figure it out wouldn't be the first time i've overnighted in strathmore if that were the case none of us yeah so get on it contact the origin tap room in calgary or in strathmore and be there next wednesday do you be back by next wednesday rat i believe i will but things do happen yeah right maybe you go on one of those big king crab expeditions on lake erie big yeah i'd go do some crab and get the traps out have you ever wanted to do that what go on one of those big like a big crab boat one of

those big boat yeah the show kind of in the dangerous catch yeah yeah no i don't want to do the deadliest catch but i've done a crab pot or whatever yeah yeah close to vancouver bc It's not that exciting. I was going to say, is it boron? Well, you just put some bait in and drop it down and come back and grab it and pull it up. So it's kind of like delivered mail. It's not that exciting. How long do you have to eat?

But gal darn it, it's delicious. It is delicious. The exciting part of be pulling it up, being like, do we have something here? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? We're pulling it up. Come on.

Come on. What do we got in there? Jack, do you like crab? Love crab. Have you ever had crabs? Yes. Hang on. Shampo.

Shave. What's the name without shampoo? Rat, that you... Little, I mean, did you know. Hey. Hey. Did you know that at one time... Crab was...

People couldn't believe that you would eat it. So gross. That's the... It's poor people food. That's peasants are eating those... Gross. Spiders from the bottom of the ocean. Gross.

Ocean spiders. Yeah. Gross. Right. little did they know that if you if you steam it or boil it just right and then dip them in melted butter melted butter really solves a lot of issues

what else could we like steam and then dip into vats of butter that we would be passable that at first glance might not be a cobs of corn this stuff is this terrible gets caught in my teeth well did you try and boil it for a long time and then hey this bread's kind of stale let's toast it and put lots of butter on i'm in do they still sell at Stampede.

I remember you'd be able to go and get the cob of corn. And they had like, it was, what would, like a cylinder about this deep. Like a flesh shed. No, not like that.

And it was full of melted butter. So you'd go and buy your cob of corn. Yeah. And it'd be like, whoop. And then you'd have this butter slathered cob of corn as you walk through the blazing heat at Stampede Park.

yeah dripping all over your shirt melted but you'll never get out of your shirt and your shorts and all that yeah it's in your teeth follow the yellow drip road all that salt on there and the salt then you're oh then you need nine beers to wash it down that was my excuse yeah sorry honey the coroner the cob was too salty you have to drink nine beers now yeah I'll see you tomorrow so that's that's not happening at origin at the golf turn. No, they know what they're doing that. So you're old, right? I feel like a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's your resting age? Because there's obviously like your birth certificate. I'm older. I got the new whoop. It tells you your, your age. And once I had that idiot friend of mine come over and I was really old. Really? 70. Yeah. I was only in my 30s. Now I'm still a couple years. According to the whoop, I'm older than my actual age, which is not ideal.

You're wise, though, right? You've done some people. Yeah, does the loop monitor your brain? No, it's not pointing out any wisdom at all. No. Your cerebral cortex. Anyway, I just. Candice Goody's call me.

You should ask it right now. Make her laugh. Yes, make her laugh. Make her laugh. Quickly. Do it. Too late. Damn it.

Um, when, when did you end like years 33? 0,09. Oh, nine. So you were, you know, early 30s mid, early to mid. 33. Yeah. Played at 32 and then 33, they dusted you, right? So what was your game day like as you were preparing your, your frame, which I'm sure at that time, your whoop strap would say you're 33, but you're like a 29, 28 year.

Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. You'd have been on the, on the other. side of it there. But I know you've talked about it, but we haven't talked forever. What would your, it's game day? What does Rhett Warner have to do to get his frame ready to play in a full contact game of NHL hockey, hockey at the highest level

on the planet? How I'm trying to remember because my brain doesn't work as good, what I all had to do. But I do remember not showing up two minutes before going on the ice and just putting your gear on and going out. Yeah. If that would hurt, you'd be injured. Instantly.

Just by stepping on the ice? Yeah. Ow. Stress fracturing. They had the heat packs, the lead, the steamed in the hot water. You'd be wrapped in those for a while. And then it was a hot shower.

And then a trainer would have a little stretch here and there. Then you'd have to get taped up for whatever ails you. Yeah, it was a horrible thing. I remember those heat packs. It was when I started going into rooms as media. What is what is that? Is that like a coffee urn? What have they got going over there?

The big tongs and they pull them out and steaming. Can you like explain what it? Because it kind of looked like a big coffee earn in a way, right? Yeah, it's just a big metal. I mean, and all the different rings have different sizes. Some of them were big massive tubs of, but I don't know how to describe because, yes, it's just a big metal pot. That's a big metal pot.

And then you have tongs and you pull this thing out. And it looks like a strip of bean bags. Yeah, that's gross, actually. Like, if you're doing a crab boil, but you're pulling out bean bags instead of crabs, well, shit, we got in the traps. We got skunked again. And they stink. Yeah, no good.

The gray and ugly. Yeah, you take your bean bag, towels. Yeah. And then you wrap it around your innards, your kidneys and whatever's ailing. And then what, tensor bandage to secure it and hold it in place. I remember seeing Derek Morris one time. He was playing for Phoenix. He looked like the freaking marshmallow man from.

Ghostbusters. He had boobs. It was everywhere. Everywhere. So you'd show up and that's the purpose, I guess, is to warm your muscles. Yeah. You don't want to go out there cold, Dean. Yeah.

And then what's the stretching routine? Not everyone's a stretch. There's a debate on whether static stretching is helpful, but the dynamic stretching where you're moving and stuff. It's more about getting warmed up and less about the actual stretch. Stretching after, once you have been warming. and gone through the ringer. Then you stretched out and he gets some benefits.

Yeah. Luongo at the end famously needed like two hours for a morning skate and then would have to also warm up for two hours before the game that night. Like it was such an arduous process just to get in a spot where he could play. Yeah. And that to Rett's point, it's not just lying and stretching. It's getting warm so that you can get into these positions that you need to as a goal. It's amazing.

Which is again, so the segue obviously is. to the two old guys who are playing as almost as well if i mean perry was a heart trophy winner but cori perry is scoring goals at a at a clip that makes no sense an incredible rate harry at an at an incredible rate harry he was a fourth liner in anaheim seven years ago eight years his career was done it was him on waivers the bubble year where in montreal went to the file you could add him for a million bucks or whatever he was making that was in 2021 He's getting to where he needs to be. He's making plays.

He's scoring goals. He's getting the other team. He's getting under their skin. And then Brad Marchand, who is not quite, because Perry's 40, Marchand is 36. I mean, but again, it's amazing to me. Not, I guess, yeah, the whole thing is remarkable to me that there's, you can have the heart, but the body ain't willing kind of thing.

there would probably be a lot of guys that they want to they ready for battle and they're going to go tooth and nail but their body just won't allow it i'm just curious what kind of work these guys must be putting in on a on a game day in round four because neither of those guys shy away from it they're right in the yeah you never know though because there were guys that that could never determine whether the guys that were in really good shape and worked their asses off like rod the bod benefited more for from doing that or the guys that did F all and never I don't know yeah yeah like there are some guys yeah I'm just thinking of the miles that are on both of those guys

yeah March 10th turned 37 in May he's fresh 37 he's a young 37 right and then I think it's their smarts that's got him there I don't think Harry's having success if he stays in Chicago and that doesn't right you know what I mean like I think he's

out of the game at that point he's with guys that he can use brains and contribute but probably fun to be net front on that power play and play with mc david too i mean he's got to be smart better than they are i don't know how they do why are some guys done at 30 and some guys chrys chelios is playing until he's 45 like what it makes no sense there's there has to be something in the genetics or really it's not just oh follow this program and you'll be fine it's not how it works so i don't know it's It is impressive, though, to watch a bunch of old bastards go out there in battle at that age.

But I do wonder about some of the younger guys who are in the room. Like, would there be an oiler yesterday? Are we practicing today? And Perry's out there working on tip drills for an hour. How about shut up, kid, get your gear on? The old boys are showing you the way. I hate to say, in a way, in a weird way. Perry's winning me back just a smidge.

Don't like that. I have not, it's kind of like BX, the same thing. Post career, he's won me back a little bit. It's not just that Perry, because I said,

I said a couple, he was in and out of games last year, right? He was, oh, got a healthy scratch. Now he's back in. Not healthy scratching this guy.

Hyman or injuries, whatever. He's, he's a focal point for them. That power play in game one, he makes that little pass to McDavid. He helps set up the game winning goal. Yeah.

And yeah, he's with, But he's not holding them back. No, and it's because of his smarts in his hands that he can play with those guys. I mean, he obviously doesn't move nearly as well as he used to that's stating the obvious. Probably both these guys that's fair to say. I thought Marchand looked pretty slow at four nations when the speed limit won't weigh up. But these guys are really, really high IQ hockey players.

And if you know where Connor's going, then you can put the puck there. That's going to work for him. Yeah. He's on a fourth line playing with some scrubs. He might not look very good at all. but they found something early in the LA series when they put him up top. I think he'd be terrible. So, I mean, you kind of catch yourself because I'm with you, Dean.

I respect what he's doing. Absolutely. And how many playoff games is it now? 250? Like, it's incredible. It's so many playoff games. It's crazy.

So it's not just the regular season miles. And how many times in the last, what is it, five of the last six years, the finals? Yeah. Like, that's staggering. Like this would be what six straight loss? Fifth of six, I think. Anyway, it is impressive. But without, and it's not to take anything away from him,

but without the other two, he's not able to do it. He's not contributing. I don't think if you send him down to the fourth line in Edmonton, that we'd be talking highly of him. Yeah, and it's kind of, you could play the game the other way with Seth Jones. I mean, was he playing with asked to do heavy lifting in Chicago on a shitty team where you're caved in your own end the whole night? Or it's like, hey, come to Florida, we'll get you a nice partner,

we'll put you out there with some good lines of, oh, he looks way better. You know, different scenarios. One's not an old goat. But yeah, we had Cory Perry on the scrap heap, like when Chicago got rid of him for reasons that no one could ever figure out. It was like, yeah, he might be done now. That might be it. 1819, he played 31 games, had six goals and 10 points. I mean, 10 and 31, it's not terrible.

But this is the end of the line. The 10 to 31, that's like the Adam Klapka line. And then that's a form. Yeah. And then goes to Dallas, goes, plays 27 playoff games, goes to Montreal, 22 playoff games, Tampa Bay, 23 playoff games, 19 with Edmonton a year ago and tonight will be his 20th with the Oilers, 234 playoff games in addition to the 1392 in the regular season that he's played. 234 playoff games. And he says he's not done. He's he said, I'm not trying, no, well, God, no.

I mean, he's, he's planning on playing another year. And then Marchand, I, I'm, we were sitting in here, eating Bontan ribs on trade deadline day, was Brad Marchand could be going to flow. Oh, well, yeah, that'd be a good fit. Rats. He was injured at the time. He got injured in Boston and then that followed. It was almost more about him leaving Boston in a way.

Yeah, it's the divorce, right? then that's okay Florida well he might fit in there and yeah he's on a third line but he has been the perfect fit he's been better I think than you could have imagined I just how many teams could have had Brad Marchand what I'd love to be able to go back then I think zero and get in there's up to Brad Marchand he said I'm going to Florida and the bruns are like well come on now like we're not going to get a good return if that's the only team we can trade you to and he's like well my name's going up on the walls here have I not given you enough have I not played in a value contract my whole career. Like, here's where I want to go make it happen. And they got a conditional

first, which is a, you think you'd get a slam dunk first, no conditions. But the condition was met when they got to the cup final or the final four, whatever it is. But he knew exactly where he wanted to go. And I don't think he's surprised that the fits worked. That's the one spot he said he wanted to go. He got into 10 games in the regular season, two goals, four assists, and then now here in the playoffs, 20 games, 18 points. and has scored in what three straight years. Not for nothing, but, and I'm not, there are certain players that like the big stage.

Sam Bennett's one of them. And the reason for it is that you don't have to manufacture a motion. It's there. Your energy levels up. It's laid on the line all the time, and it's in front of you. You don't have to go to the rank in Canada on January 17th, minus 40 in game 48 and try and manufacture some emotion to go, I really hate the Ottawa

senators. And I got, anyway, what, sometimes it's easier. Well, it is not for everyone. Some guys get nervous and piss their legs. But a lot of the good players enjoy the playoffs more. And it's easier to play. There's, there's no, the emotions there. You're into it.

Like, and I don't know what the play. point of my, what I'm trying to get across is, but it, it's tougher to play in November and January than it is in June. They're better playoff performers than they are regular season ones. Like Jeff Skinner had an okay regular season. I guess it's third game tonight he's going to come into. Like, it ain't for him. He's not playing his best to playoffs.

Flipside is like, you look at Perry and Marchand, like, these guys know exactly what it takes to win. This is the environments that they thrive in. Best to Sevens, all the nonsense. Take the whistles away a little bit. Let me get greasy in the paint. This is where they thrive. Both players win a cup early in their career, right?

Yes. They want it back. They got a taste of it, and now they're after it, right? Like, that's part of it, too. That was, Mary, 07, 09, something in there for Marchand. It was 2011, and that was his first full season. He played 20 games the year prior, 2010, 11, 77 games. and then in the playoffs, 25 games, 19 points.

And they were down in that series, right? Remembering back? Wasn't Vancouver up in that series? Yeah, there was a Homer series until game seven. Yeah. They won in game seven on the road. Anyway, down two O, coming back to Boston. That's really.

Luongo tweeted because Luongo is, what, AGM in Florida, something like that. When Marchand had the huge game, I think it was against the Leifes or is the overtime winner. It's just like, ah, it's always been my favorite player. always been my favorite player. But you're like, oh, okay, Luongo's a nice guy. And then you're thinking about it.

You're like, oh, yeah, Marshaun beat him in the final for the cup. Maybe not always. There was a article he wrote a while ago for the athletic, I think it was. What was that one? The Players Tribune, they were doing it. He was talking about Marshall. He was like, growing up as a kid in Nova Scotia there, there were some other kids when I was playing that they were better than me.

And it just kind of, even when he was a kid, it kind of struck him that if I want to play, I need to be able to do what other guys won't. And he said that, and I don't know if, if there, I forget the, the article, but basically that seed was planted and he started to realize that if, if I go and do some things that maybe make me uncomfortable. Yeah. But that other guys won't. That's going to get me noticed.

And maybe that can put me over the edge. And he admits, you know, I've probably crossed the line, you know, licking faces and that sort of thing. There was a while that he was getting suspended. it a lot and not many people cared for him. And now he's, he's still going to where guys won't go, but he's 5'9, 180, 85 pounds. There's not much to him.

I got all kinds of respect for guys that can be that much of a factor in a game that's about size and speed and all of that. And you don't have a lot of it. But what you've got, you maximize damn near every single night. I'm looking at the Corey Perry finals in the bubble in Edmonton. He played on that Dallas club, Anton Hadobin. We're not going home.

They lost to Tampa. The next year he goes to Montreal. They win the North Division. And then it was like fans in Tampa, maybe a couple thousand in Montreal because of the COVID restrictions, which was chaos. He loses there.

Then it's Tampa in 22. If I can't beat him, join him. He'd lost to Tampa twice in the final in a row. They lose to Colorado that year. Following year, six games and out, I think Florida gets them in around one in Tampa, then Chicago doesn't work, shows up an Emmettin final last year, final this year. Lost, loss, loss.

Nope, Stanley Cup, loss. And we'll see what this one is. Five is a beautiful. Well, and he's not quit so he can come back. He's already got one. He's come back, right? Ray Bork didn't have one. I'd be nice for Ray to win one.

That sort of thing. You can get behind that. Yeah. I guess Marchant has one, too. Boy, I sure like, Seth Jones. Boy, that's Seth Jones, really. Seth Jones. Yeah.

Hearing loss clinic. There's five of them in the city. That's a lot. I don't want to hear it. And this is not about my hearing issues because I have hearing aids. If you can't, I can't, I can't, it's not handy. There's not a clinic location that's convenient for me.

Incorrect. I'll have none of that. You hear me, Jack? I'll have none of it. I hear you. Good. And even if you couldn't, I still wouldn't take it. Five hearing loss clinic locations in Calgary.

The new Chinook location at the corner of McLeod and Glenmore, they got a beautiful one up in the university district up by the Children's Hospital up there. Have you been up there lately? It's fancy now. It's very fancy up there. Very nice. There's little places to eat, some shopping, get your hearing checked. All in a day's work.

Good parking. I mean, not market mall levels, but pretty good parking. lovely part of the city uh Travis and Sabrina rose they started with one little clinic and now have uh they've grown their business and become the best at what they do their their main goal is getting people socially active more connected with loved ones confidence that whole thing and that comes you lose that and you probably don't realize it when your hearing is uh challenged and you get it back and hey yeah i can have that conversation I can meet those people.

I can go and do all these other kind of things that maybe I was not so inclined to do. And studies show health risks like dementia, depression, others have been linked to untreated hearing loss. It just makes sense. It's convenient. And they are the best. Hearingloss. com. Book yourself in.

It's summer. Maybe you got some vacation time. Maybe the schedule is a little easier. Get it done. Go and do it. Very good people. You have to tread through the snow. It's nice out.

Rhett and I have been to the Chinook location. That's also fancy, I'm told. It's nice in there. You got those little rooms where it's ultimate silence. The soundproof booth. Yeah. Where you sit. It's like, wow, that's quiet.

Couldn't have a thing there. Yeah, it's quiet. That's what it is. Hearing lost.com. You're going to be back in time for the G7, Rhett? It feels like you're kind of an event. Yeah, I got the jet fired up. We should have a presentation I've got to do.

Talk to the fellows and see. What are you presenting on? Yep. Yeah. If you're not invited, right? You don't have classification for this. Yeah, it's classified. High level clearance here.

I can't really tell you. It's an underground city, secret society. I look forward to you. Because they've been working on the, what do you call it, the motorcates. Yeah, they have been practicing their motorcates. Have you seen any of those? I saw one last week.

I've seen a bunch. Yeah. My kids saw, well, who's in town? Yeah, they're doing. everyone so is trump going to canaanascus yeah sounds like he's going to chop her in from montana every yeah a lot of check stops if you want to go hiking in canaanascus uh next week we're at horrible bad time for it yeah bad time for it if you're a bear they might even turn you back yeah old the king there yeah do you know how many the boss he's like jellie i've sired cars that i've sired that i've sired this is my house this is my house terrible

You're getting together with Donald when he's on? I don't know. Steak? Alberta beef. He wouldn't eat that. He's, he's, he's,

he don't think, you don't think he's a steak eater, gout, is he worried about the gout? Oh, it's all politics. They'd be telling you that someone I was better. I don't believe him,

you know. Be like lip, licking his up in them. Gross. Very happy, the Panthers, those oilers. He'd be a Panthers fan.

I know all the Canadians, Alex Ovechkin, they're very upset. Right. Ew. He saw the, yeah, he saw the hippo tank. That's what it was. Yeah, you can't go up there. Let's do the Peter Report. It's presentation of Village Honda.

Oh, details. Well, here's the thing. We can't really, because I got the thing and I sent it, but you can't, because it's top secret. It's kind of an RSVP. It's kind of an invite only thing, right? It's like the G7. It's right.

That's right. They want to buy your pre-owned vehicle. A million dollar buying event. The used car market. It's red hot. They want used cars. They want their lot to be the very best and they're prepared to put their money where the mouth is. Maybe you've got a vehicle that they would be interested in.

You know what? It feels like a lot of people are doing this. When I was at the theater, I said, I've mentioned that gone to a movie. And there was somebody, not Village Honda, but there was someone. other kind of unsavory person going and putting stuff behind the windshield wipers, you know, I like that. What are you selling? So as I'm walking and I kind of peek at somebody.

He's like, oh, would you be interested in selling your, your car? So somebody else is trying to do, get into this. I'll see. So I come back after the movie and the car beside me has one on its windshield. The other car beside, didn't put one on my, uh, what? Didn't put one on my 2010 on my rig. I'm sorry about that, Dean. Maybe the new year

just loyal to the dealership for life. Maybe. It's a waste of our time. That's a village Honda guy. He's got a dealership for life already. If he's going to sell it, we know where he's doing it. That must be what it is, Ryan. Good point by you.

Let's do the Pinder Report. All right, friends, let's see what's going on in Flamesland, where all of a sudden, Rasmus Anderson, Rasmus Anderson, Anderson, Rasmus, Rasmus, Mandis. Rasmussen. Okay. So apparently Connie, his crew, Rasmus, his crew, going to get together. And, well, last year of your deal, you need a raise. Happy to give you a raise.

What are you wanting on your next contract? And here's what we think would be fair on your next contract. Ryan Pikes got the latest, Flames Nation.com, writers be writing. Exchange contract extension numbers this week. This week can happen. right guys you like they just sit down at a table with a pin and sticky notes and kind of here's what i would like oh here's our counter show you mine if you show me yours here's i love it because yeah it's uh we're gonna start really high and we'll start really low yeah but no one get offended because there's

room to move what does he make now sorry 4.55 4.5 was it 4.5 5 5 last year of his deal right and it would be really difficult to figure out his market rate here as the cap looks to skyrocket. Like I look at the Pionc deal, the Chickren deal. Like he's going to be between $7 and $9 million a year. I was going to say, if Rasmus were to slide the first post-it note over, what do you think is on that post? So we're talking about the money, not the years. Both.

This is what we would be happy with. It's going to go nine times eight. Yeah, I think so too, because it's the first note. Like, you're not going to start giving higher. numbers later. So I would think you would open with eight years nine million. Yeah. And what do you think if it were flipped? You know what Rasmus? Here's where we're prepared to go. Six times eight. Six times seven and a half. Six times six times eight. Six times seven. Seven and a half. You're going to start low. You might get there, but I don't think you start there. Seven even. So with that in mind, purely hypothetical, is there common ground there. How big is the

gap is the question. If it's six versus eight years and nine million against seven and a half, is that a bridgeable? Well, I guess so they won't give them six year deal in Calgary. I think Conroy will have the eight years in there. So then eight times what? Because we've got to adjust the number, right? I said eight times six. Okay. So that's 48 million and Rasmus wants 72 million. That's a significant cap. Sorry, so I had you backwards then. You were doing eight years at six million. Well, the benefit is the eight years for Rasmus to stay in Calgary, right? So flames know if they might not give it to him, but that's going to be the temptation. Sure.

He's going to be 37 when an eight-year deal expires. This is his one shot in his career to taste-free agency if he gets any sort of term here. Now, maybe he ages like fine wine, and at 37 he can get another one or two-year deal or something. But if we're being realistic, he's had a... his entry level. They signed him to a long-term value deal for the flames where he made four and a half. Much of that time he spent as a top pair, top four defensemen, that's a deal. And now, as he's set to turn 29 next season, this is his expiry, his last, and probably only chance at free agency.

I think there will be a significant gap. And Rett's numbers compared to the Erasmus numbers, that presents a $24 million gap. I was going to say, well, it's a pretty, well. That's a big gap. I don't think the back gap would be that big, but I think it'll be big. Yeah. When you go over eight years and you start to do that math, that's three times eight is 24. That's the gap.

Yeah. You're going six a year versus 90 year times eight years. Ooh. All of a sudden you're like, yeah, you know what? It's been great. And I guess if everyone's being honest with himself, Rasmus would be best served to be in a place where he's got a chance to win a cup in the next three to four years before we, really start to worry about his age, right? We don't expect 34,

35, 36 year old Rasmus to be better than 30, 31, 32, right? That's... It doesn't have to be. He just has to be able to keep up, because at that point, the cap's going to have risen enough. He's not going to be a number one or two.

He's your number four at that time. I don't know. He's a right side, second pair guy probably on a contender right now, right? Yep. If you're a real good team, they go put them in Dallas. That would have helped them a ton. They had Bushkin and Dumba and C.C. and all these hacks on the right side.

They needed a good right shot guy. So I guess how big the gap is, how far people willing to move, the flames being honest with how close they are to contending. And when are we going to be good? And is Rasmus still good then? And Rasmus saying, I can't help a team win now.

Is this team ready to win now? Like, I just I might be alone. I don't think I am. But I believe there's just going to be a, you know what? The timing doesn't line up here. There would be other universes where I stay a max term and it's perfect fit. It just doesn't look like a fit to me to where the flames are at and where Rasmus's career is at. You would love to be somehow on the, on both.

Fly on the wall. Yeah, because you know, what do you think the offers, they're going to have a rough idea. But is there a chance that one size, oh, well, that's higher or lower. than what we were expecting to hear at this point. What's the next deal in Winnipeg? I think it's seven times six. And Chickrens eight times nine. That's how this works, right?

You provide comps. And because it's like, well, hey, there's a similar player in today's era with the same knowledge we have today about the cap growing, playing a similar role to you. Here's what that deal was worth. Jacob Chickren signed, he's heading into year one of an eight-year deal. Just signed. Nine million a year. He was going to be a UFA this summer.

He signs to stay in Washington. Capitals, 90 year for Chickren. And how old is he's younger? Chick dogs, I year younger. He's 27. Now, I haven't done the birthday thing. Maybe it's a year and a half, but you get my point. They're not dissimilar.

And so if you're Rasmus, you're saying, yeah, okay, Jacob scores more than me, but there's some things I do better than him. Jacob could be a little bit of a circus in his own zone. And I think Jacob's a real good player, but he's just going to say, look, I can provide some things that he can't. Rass was 29 in October. Yeah, so he's 28, Jacob's 27.

Now, Pionk on the other side, that's the deal that the Flames would be like, yeah, we'll keep you if you signed the Pionk deal. He was the guy that came over in the Jacob Truba deal, when Trubbard wanted out for Winnipeg forever, there's no way that Jets can win this deal. Pionk's been the better player since that expired. Trubo was dumped for cap space essentially this season to Anaheim. He's not been a top four guy.

Pionk had a sensational season. He and Sandberg and Morrissey have been phenomenal there. he is in year one now heading into of a six year deal worth seven. So if Rasmus, if you can convince his camp that he's a Neil Pionk, I think that's a deal that can get done. But if Rasmus' camp is trying to convince you that he's a Jacob Chikrin contract, I don't think the deal gets done.

And that's sort of the goalposts I think we're working with in here. How old Pionk? 29. Dhrasmus will turn that in the fall, as you know. Yeah. October 27th, he becomes 29. And you know, in some ways, Rastas would hold himself in higher regards than Pionk,

but I don't know if he should. They're both right shot guys on the second pair. Yeah. And again, I do think the backdrop of him being on a team friendly deal for the last six years and his one cut at free agency. Like John Tavares, he's made his 77 million, and now he's in free agency again. He doesn't have to chase up dollar,

but you know Rastasper's agent can be like, listen, buddy, this is your chance. to set up your family for generations. It's 72 million or it's 56 million. This is where you weigh it all. We're in your Anderson in this situation. You're like, yeah, I think he likes Calgary. But what is Calgary offering him that's better than anywhere else?

Nothing. Yeah, they're not more of a contender. It's not a better tax climate than there are out there. It isn't a better. It's not better lifestyle. Well, it's, he owns a home here and he lives here and doesn't have to move. That's the biggest thing that they can offer him. He likes it here and he's already here.

And the extra year, I guess. Yeah. But in the life cycle of the flames, it doesn't make sense. No. Yeah, like the Jets won a president's trophy. The capitals were an elite team. Both won their conferences. So for both of those guys, you would think that's.

Status quo is great. Yeah. We're doing lots of winning. So if Rasmus believes this is a, 96 point team that's going to be better this year. Both of them have moved. So they, like, Shikran moved twice where it's like, no, no, I'm abs. And he got topped all there, I think.

But. Yeah, I agree. And so that brings us to our next article as, uh, are there more right? Matt Larkin of daily of daily faceoff, putter of our, uh, Dana shown some subsidiary. Is it? A network of, uh, six trade destinations to watch for Flames Rasmus Anderson. Larkin goes on to build compelling cases for Carolina. Don't spoil it.

Go read it. Actually, I want to hear. Okay, go ahead. I'm just going to say, Rhett's, there's no chance he's going to. Ret, will you go and read this article? Nope. Okay. It's blocked.

It's blocked. Trump hasn't blocked. That's right. Yeah, we can't be letting this filthy. Don't you have one of those? Tariffs, don't you know, Dean? Those internet blocker deals, you have to have a wide variety of those, I would think. You got some VPN.

You can tell them you're in Andorra. And I'll block Andorra. What's that island with the penguins? They got the tariffs off of that. Give me the answers. What are the team? I'm not in Buffalo. I'm in Beirut.

That's silly. Silly you. Go ahead. Flavala here's unbelievable. Carolina. Carolina, they of course have six first rounders the next four years. All their own plus two from Dallas.

Okay. Okay. They also are losing potentially Orlov. Maybe Burns on the back end. They also have young, fresh NHL defenseman, Scott Morrow. Okay.

And Nikition. So there was lots of pieces that would theoretically work. Or Caroline is like, we already got these young guys. We don't need to be paying more. We love value deals for Carolina. Team two. Columbus. Over 40 million in capspace.

Proverrobs are UFA. Fabros are a UFA. If those guys want out, you're going to need some D. Dallas, we talked about it. Cece, Dumbull, Lubbushkin, not good players. Way over their skis on the right side. Probably cost them a trip to the final. Do they have the cap space?

Well, they do have Maverick Bork who needs a new. new deal and an offer sheet candidate. Could you pry Maverick pork out of there? Don't have much cap space. That's the caveat for the stars. Detroit, $21 million in cap space. They're finally out from under the Petrie deal. Ottawa.

Sounds like they want a veteran guy to jump into their top four to join the Sanderson Shabbats and they're missing someone else's of the world. Mekamink. Zube? Zube for sure. And then finally he lays out Philadelphia as a place. L. A Ristolinen's peck tear might keep them out for a bit of time next year. Is Philly ready to step forward here?

They've had a bunch of first high picks that are already in their lineup with Machenko, Mishkov, and now whoever they're picking high this year. Are they ready to step out of the rebuild? I don't know. There's also other places that would fit. I look at Toronto as a place that the GM knows them. I don't know what a Toronto-Cagre deal looks like. But safe to say there's a lot of teams interested in a right-shot defenseman,

making $4.5 million who comfortably plays in your top four. It's crazy that something like Rasmus to Toronto, that'd be so far down there. There's Marner, Tveras, Nyes. I mean, we'll get to a top four defenseman when we get there. I don't know. The Dallas one is interesting on many scales. They need a coach. And they're in the window right now.

Three straight finals, all of that sort of thing. It's time for Dallas. It's not a wait. We got a kid come. No, like it's now or never if you're going to win with it. group in Dallas. Using your your GM hat, right?

And I don't know if it has any bearing, but you would feel like if it's Dallas, maybe there's some urgency there to get a little more out of a team that's potentially desperate than, say, Columbus. We'd like to have some depth. Ottawa, we'd like to have some, a right shot guy. Whereas maybe in Dallas it's a little more, it's a little tight.

Maybe. Don't get Chris Tannib if you deal with them again. No, that one didn't seem too desperate. You got them. Wouldn't be one of those things where you'd be doing a sign of trade. I don't think so. Don't think you'd be. And then, of course, the other option is, okay, draft is on the 28th, 27th, 28th, Friday,

Saturday, whatever it is. Do you try to use him as capital to move up in this year's draft class to get into a neighborhood where you can find a guy that projects to be a top two center? Do you try to stockpile 26 picks? Are you taking him into this season and saying, like you did last year, like, hey, let's just watch the group and let them decide. And then he's going to be worth a ton at the deadline if he's playing well. That feels like there's a little more risk there.

There's injury. There's what if he's not playing great? Or are you trying to make room for Perek? Because you've already got him penned in there. When this happens and how this happens, if it does, this is intriguing. It'd be one of those things. My guess would be, and we can move on because we can talk about. Around the horn in the flames office, you would have an idea of what kind of a trade in terms of assets or return.

would make you happy for a Rasmus Anderson deal. And if you don't get it right now, no rush, either before the draft or after. I think the shopping list should be first rounder, player prospect. And that was kind of the shopping list they went to a last Lindholm with. They got more than that from Vancouver because Vancouver wanted to get ahead of the

deadline. We were in All Star weekend in Toronto when that one broke. And it's like, it feels like a lot to me, but I mean, that's what you would, you'd love it. And you're not selling it for two months, right?

Like we always think about, the Hannafin and the Tanaf deals like you're renting a guy. Sure. This is a full year at a great cap. Teams that are up against it. Oh shit. This is amazing. We go to a free agency to try to buy this kind of player. It's $8, 9 million. We'll see.

Game for us tonight. We've told you that. We've talked about it. The Oilers are making some changes. Stetcher's in. Klinberg's out. Jeff Skinner's in. Stuart Skinner's in. And that means Arvidsen will come out.

Cal Picker got to play practice in the starters net this morning. Bouchard, given the stink eye to Eckblies. I can't believe you did that to our captain. They should really have the Gadjavik smile after the fight. That's the real photo of the series so far. The odds tonight, what do we know? Well, Florida's favored, friends. Minus 150 at home here.

Oilers plus 125. You're over under set for 6.5. Trying to do the math. My head, I think the over is hit in every single game. Yes. plus money on the over there. The others would like to tighten things up of it, I'm guessing. No, yeah.

I think we need to, this got to be low event. Yeah. Let's bore the shit out of this thing. And that's how they eliminated Vegas, right? It was like zero, zero. And they're like, yeah, let's just play low event. We can get a goal when we need one. Okay.

Streaks. Sam Bennett, Rad Marjan, flirting with some very impressive territory. To score in four straight games in a final means you're having a hell of a run in the final. Johnny Bucick in 1970. Oh, Johnny. Trache, Bossie from the Islander's dynasty did it.

Wayne did it once in 85. Ryan O'Reilly for the Blues against Boston in the final in 2019. And the roadrunner, Y.A. in 1973 for the Habs, did it five games in a row of Marshand or Bennett scores tonight. That's a goal in four straight Stanley Cup final. final games. I, you know what? I just for me, I love watching history.

I love seeing history being made. Yeah. Yeah. Brett, would you be okay with history being made today? I'm cheering for the Florida Panthers. So really? Jeez. Okay.

Well, we're the journalists. He's cheering. That's fine. He played for the team. Right. Chris Kreider, trade finally got done today. Oh, did it. Here is it in its entirety.

Frank not Frank, Frank, not Frank, reporting that Kreider and a fourth rounder this summer going to the ducks. Carrie Terrence. It's from the New York area. And a third that belongs to Toronto will go to the Rangers. So Anaheim's getting their own pickback. Oh, is that from the, uh,

fronk? Uh, it's 15 spots up and it's this year's draft. There you go. From the Truba deal, maybe? I'm wondering. Probably. Uh, Dregs explains the deal.

Rangers will get the cap flexibility. They need to target free agents or present offer sheets. No salary retained by the Rangers, which is huge. find a way to retain no salary on Goodroll, no salary on Trouba, no salary on Crider. All they had to do was poison their locker room for a full season to get it done, guys. Everyone clapped for Chris Juror. Well done. That's staying focused right there.

He's going to run a coach, traitor captain, poison the room. But it does allow them to take some cuts here. Criter's on the third line, left side. He's gone now. There's still some nice players here. Gabe Perrault is the guy we wish the flames took instead of San. I'm Hanzek, Rhett. He's getting up to speed there.

Trocheck, Panarin, Miller, La Frenier, Zabinajad, and the third line. I like him there better than Will Cooley had a really nice year. They'd like Zabanajad to be in Anaheim also, I bet. Yeah, I think so, or hope that whatever was wrong last year ain't, and he can go back to the top line where he's been. But don't be surprised if they're big players here as we get into free agency and offer sheet season. They now have the cap space to do it.

They got 15 million bucks with a few guys needing contracts. Cooley does, Rampay does, amongst others. Well, good luck to Chris Drury. Anaham on the other side, $32 million in cap space. They can still go big game hunting, and all of a sudden, this is starting to look like a better roster. Goce, highly-tetted prospect. They swapped Drysdale four.

Leo Carlson, top four pick. Mason McTavish, really good centerman. Troy Terry's been good. The pizza man, Frank Vitrano, could score. Crider to the third line, Zegris there. If those two can get their heads screwed on, on straight, that looks like a pretty good start. Anahm wants to be better.

They've said it. We want to make the playoffs this year. I don't think they're done adding. Good luck to the Anaheim docks. I know it was keeping you up all night. The lady Bing's been announced back to your regularly scheduled sleeps. Nicest guy in the league award goes to Anzikopat.

So nice. Lovely. Just a little more success in the post. He got a bit more of a prick on. Did he get a video? They did. I can't even. No, I'm done with the videos. Is it really? Yeah. I just couldn't. I'm like, it's the lady bang. Well, you do have a high bar for stuff that makes the fair report.

Standards, Ryan, stick to your standards. Thank you, Rhett. Don't be swayed. You've been an inspiration. It didn't make the cut, which is going to be some other stuff later on. Can you imagine how bad it must have been? Oh, my God. There's only a couple trophies left to announce. It'll be the heart announced tonight hat before game four, I believe.

Yeah, it's the awards. night. It was the show. It's not really. It's the pre-recorded award show. It's the show. Yeah. It is a show. It's a show. It won't be live with athletes reading off teleprompters. Thank God. At least not as many of them as in years past. The heart and the Vesna are really the only big two we don't know. And we really already do know the Vesna. Who is your pick there? Pick one, fellas. The players went Cooch with the Lester B. Pearson. The Ted Lindsay. Yeah. Ted Lindsay. They renamed it. Do they? Either way, the player vote went to Kooch. Because we did see that. It felt like Leon's year all year,

and then at the end, kind of got dinged up with injuries and Kooch kept piling up points. Hellbuck's got the strongest case we've seen for a goalie in a while. I wonder if it's Hellabuck. Could he pull the double up of Vesna and Hart? When were the votes cast?

And the regular season. They won the president. I mean, it might be him. They did not get to see any shitburgers in round one against St. Louis. Might be hell about I hope it's in here. I don't want the other graduate kid.

They got odds on this? I think just a voting is done and people like Frank would have the results. They may have closed the odds. They don't trust Frank. They trust Frank. Just not Frank. Yeah, Frank is a

dark bag. Other news around the NHL. Kevin Weeks continues to send us postcards from Atlanta where the commissioner of some neighborhood in Atlanta has approved the gathering. At South Forsyth, sure.

Is he going to be the president of this team if it happens? Yeah, I do want the sub-tweet that says, oh, by the way, I am absolutely invested in this in a piece of, I'm really pushing this hard. Because when something doesn't work two times in a row, at you're just, odds are it's going to work the third time. You're just due. Or it's a bad idea.

I'm not sure which. Or it's a terrible idea. We'll tell you in time. I'd put one back in Phoenix before this. I'll tell you that. I don't have billions to waste on it or I would. In Phoenix or in Atlanta? Either.

I don't have billions to waste on anything. But if I did, damn it, I would be calling Gary as well. I'd want you in Scottsdale, Red. I think that's more of your speed at our time zone for you, closer to home. I know you like that arid heat in the summer. Atlanta can be very sweaty. Okay. Congrats to a couple former stamp.

Peters, they are headed to the Hall of Fame. Jermay Copeland, our buddy. Cope! Great guy. The 2025 Canadian Football Hall of Fame inductee. He was at the stamps from 05 to 09. Jackie told us, he said, off the record, fellas. I wish they could have made the announcement of the game because I'm back in town,

but we're going to announce it later in the week. We kept, we were airtight, though. We didn't tell anyone. He's a great player. Man, when he was in Montreal, all at Ben Cahoon. Anthony Calvillo is how we're going to stop these guys. Unreal. Congrats. Cope. Also going. Another stampeter. Daryl Hall, the defensive back. Classic from the 90s, most of his time in Calgary, 90 to 92 and then 96 to 2000. Some did some winning back then. He'd rattled. Sing it. And some singing. Did he sing him? Did he sing? No. Oates. Different. Different guy.

yacht rock stop is this the yacht rock holofei okay fine it's on the nose I'm sorry Brett led me I know he did it was good rat he's too hard on you on that stuff guy's name is darrell hall

also stay tuned tomorrow will be unveiling a stamps giveaway so potentially no we will it's the 21st home game it's not this week and it's the next but next week your chance to win

Did you find the stuff? And quiet. So let's get to some dumb stuff. I wanted to check in with an old friend. We haven't heard or seen him for a while, but this one's pretty fun. It is day 15 going to Blackjack and bidding $1 for every like on the previous video. $52,000 punt coming right up. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back.

It is Day 50 at Blackjack bidding $1,000 for every like on the previous video. We have a $52,000 punt going to. down on the felt today. $50,000 on the button, $1,000 each of the side bets. Della looks like the sort of bloke who claims he's going to golf to strangers at buzz, but he really means disc golf. What a nerd 10 out! Oh, so did it! A pair of aces! You wouldn't read about it! We will split and we get one card on each, taking on a four. If this goes 10-10, this is absolutely enormous, we're 200 jeez a profit. 10-10, 10-10, 10-10, 10-10, 10-10, 10-10. 10-10. 10-10.

Dead it did! Did it fucking 10! Oh my God! Don't get to 21. 15! He can have 20. Now, 17! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, fucking yes. I love fucking disc golf now too. I will see you all next time where I don't think we'll be bidding more than that. You fucking let your beauty. Holy shit. I miss that guy. Still doing it.

That is quite a poll. Year later, day 15 somehow, but he's doing it again. I don't think I have ever. I mean, I don't play a ton, but when you get the two. Aces and you split to pull tens on both. That ain't how I roll. And he hit the perfect pairs. I don't know if you noticed that off the top, 25 to 1.

Good for him. Who. Remember we had him in the studio? Yes. Back to New Zealand for a while. He's back in Calgary at the beginning. He can see him. He's got a nice little condo in Eau Claire.

It looks like. Win a hundred grand. It's going on a style. Friend of the show. If only we could get some of that luck at the, felt or anywhere in life. We're in Mardaloupe, Rets in Buffalo,

Jack is Steelers fan. Tying up our, turn up our sidewalks soon again. God damn losers we are. No luck at all. Jack and his buddy love playing pool for money at the bar when they're all banged up. Some greasy shit, boys.

Look this. Oh, there's the green. Yeah. right there. What? The game. It's dumb.

It's really dumb, but I liked it. Brett, I'm sorry you hated that. I knew you'd hate that, but... Do we have the Lady Bing video? It's got Anzay Kopitar being surprised, wearing a tuxedo on the beach. Back to you, Jack. All right, do you think this was planned, or this is...

Oh, no, this is so random that the camera just happened. They always filmed everybody's playing cool. And he's kind of got that look, any kind of points. I mean, it's. It's good stuff. I feel like you don't need to bother. We're not bothering with any more PIN report.

Well, that's generally, well, as long as all the listeners loved it. They're, that'd be the gauge to use. How much do they like watching, Wrette,

Wish he could punch me through his screen. I don't care to punch you. It's fun. We can fix that. Oh, you saw a random video and decided to put it. That's, oh, Jack's playing buddy pool. See, that, but that's the tie-in is that it always involves someone on the show. And it's so subtle.

No one even notices. Yeah. Like, your kids are in parkour and I like dogs and I get grossed out. You're going to buy that place in Florida with all the gators. Yeah. And you have an Aussie wife. Right. Cangros?

Yeah. Come on, Red. They're hardly random. Method. And there's cameras ever. They just happen to be there with these events. Yeah, I know. It's all organic.

That's right. It's not planned out, no. This message for the Alberta Teachers Association.

It's called wing nuts, I think.

It's a new spot in town. Peter Rat, former in any cheller, former first round picked of the Colorado Avaline. Who? Radchuk swears by wing nuts. And across the table, Big Jeff, 6-6, Jeff says, uh-uh. those things are breaded. Oh.

Can't have bread. Bread is, it's cheating. Is that a non-buffalo thing? Are you bred outside of Buffalo? Not in Buffalo. Bread wings in Buffalo. No.

There's a lot of things bread and Buffalo that you don't want any part of. Right. But Peter's claim is that they're lightly dusted. They're not bred, they're dusted. Yeah. Jack's our resident, what's a dusting look like on a wing?

I have no idea. Yeah. How do you, It's either just lightly breaded or not breaded at all. You can dust them? Can you? Because what is it? Baking soda?

What are you supposed to dust them with to make it? I think that's what they're doing. I think they're throwing a bunch of baking soda on there. And it really crisps them out. They're very crispy. And the baking soda does add a layer that almost comes across as a breading. Yeah. Either way, I have to go test out the new spot.

Yeah, you do. Yeah. Science behooves you to go. research, journalism. You can't leave and have that hanging over your head. No, we'll be their result. What the, what the, truly what the right answer there is. Is it, is it such a thing in Buffalo that like a wing night would be crazy because

every night's wing night? Or is there like, no, no, this night we go here. We were talking about it last night. Every event you go to here. Yeah. Has wings and pizza. I don't know how many. I brought it up yesterday.

How many wing joints? And somebody last night said, well, there's a dude doing a wing comparison, whatever, breakdown. And he's got 132 establishments that he's got a hit in Buffalo alone. Whoa. And apparently there's a showout called Sirens that's streaming on some service. Take shots of Buffalo. The person's from Buffalo. They've got shit talk in town.

The what about the girls by the boat? Never mind. No. Sirens. So yeah, there's a lot of wings here. You can get wings. Like is it tired? Is it,

oh, you're going to buff, having wings? Like, is it great. We live in Buffalo. Yes, we have wings here. Or is it kind of a badge of honor? I think it's tiring, but it becomes so mainstay that you, you end up having wings once a week,

minute, like, it's just, oh, there they are. And they're not. They are good. So what are you going to do, right? So like for 100 and whatever in Buffalo, if you're just a pub or restaurant, you have wings on your menu,

does that mean you're a wing place? Or are these, what do you need to be to be a wing place? Are you? Most of the places are wings and pizza. And that's it. They might have a club sandwich on there something too, but like wings and pizza.

I'm telling you, it is. What's your number one for wings? Who. Bar Bill. Three. Red's top five. It's been a while. Bar Bill is number one.

Bar Bill. Elmo's is number two. A little hole in the wall. Lenova's number three. Duff's number four. Number five. I wouldn't even have a fifth. And is that anchor bar thing true?

Or is that just kind of? Everyone that I was with last night. of the same opinion they're not yeah was that kind of the originator that is for sure where chicken wings originated 100% ret's top four reds top four if you'd like to sponsor ret's top four

um you got a lot I guess I'll take the wolverine maybe wolverine said a diamond and scotsdale actually he's coming down here sure I guess so in Albany or around Albany that's all right

well that's good to know good good good well have you seen robert yep saw robert yesterday he's lost 20 pounds since the end of the season good for him holy smokes since you put that picture him in the underwear gardening on the internet he's lost a bunch what how does rob ray spend the summer because it's been what 14 years of no grass cut grass dude got grass all day here been raining so much every time it's sunny out i gotta cut the grass drives down to elegantville and checks out his ski chalet that he can't ski at he's having a hard time finding someone to put up railings on the deck he's not happy with prices this is yeah no boy no but he's going to italy what that sounds like some rob ray and is not want to i think a family trip to italy in

August is happening. That's huge. Rob Ray fights man in sandwich line in Florence. Viral. Yeah, that. And actually, we'll put a little love out. What? No, I was going to say that.

That feels like something he didn't plan. That's someone else's idea. You know, our kids, this might be our last family vacation. The kids are getting older. Let's go while we, that feels like one of those things. Yeah, I think somebody probably told him this is what we're. This is what we're doing. This is the time.

What were we going to say? Go ahead. I was going to say that there was some sad news here in Buffalo, Rochester, Scott Metcalf, former first rounder to the Edmonton Oilers in the mid-80s, passed away, had a heart attack a few days back. And, yeah, sad. Because Razor lived with him when he first got to Rochester, his first year or two down in Rochester.

And I got to know him. Great. Guy, sad news. Condolences. T's and peace. T's and peace. All right. We'll end with, we'll do our bet three, six five. We'll do some bets.

There's a game tonight. Is that what they were saying? Hockey game, but I'm sorry. You want to get into the action for the Stanley Cup playoffs at Bet, 365, they got you. Game props, player props, totals, money line. You can even pick a Stanley Cup champion and much more. Whatever your bet is, it's never ordinary at Bet365.

Download the app, get in on the game. Official partner of the Stanley Cup playoffs must be 19 or older. All right, friends. We got a couple here that are interesting. We talked about Bennett and Marshand scoring in each of the first three games. We're doing a point parlay here. They both get one point or more plus 180. Love that.

And this was good to us in game three. We're going right back to the ball in game four. Panthers to be leading at the 10 minute mark of period one. plus 2.30. So it's not just the goal. You feel real good about the Panthers' chances. Just got to be winning the game at that point. 10 minutes in.

It could be 2-1, can be 3-0, can be 1-0. Can't be tied. Can't be trailer. So this would be different than the goal in the first 10 minutes. You cannot lead without scoring in the first 10, but yeah, this is the Panthers leading, not evidence in scoring or both teams scoring.

And that's what we had for game 3 on Tuesday. Monday there you go hell it was good luck riot i i really hope that blue jays are off so you know again just right because i wouldn't watch just lose for pals yeah yeah just hope you do well there thanks buddy that's uh six p m start nice yeah um do i sound the horn jack all right well that's the super chat youth centers of calgary a little bit richer today because of the generosity of our viewers if you're watching live and you donate inside the the YouTube chat. Take that money and get it to the U.

Centers of Calgary. Look at this. Jack Barr, $5. I have Crystal Waters in my house as we speak. They are doing a great job adding AC to our life. Thank you, Crystal Waters. Just in time. You know what?

Good on Crystal Waters. Good on you. That boy, Jack. For that show 24. Yeah, he's so sweaty. Yeah. He's got to, as much as anybody is going to appreciate. A.

A little cooler temps. God, it's hot in here. Yeah, he's out there doing whatever Jack, Jack, that Jack Bauer stuff. You get very sweaty doing that, hot. You don't want to walk into your, your home and all of a sudden be, gosh, I got to crack a window.

It's so hot and sweat. Jack Bauer doesn't need that. No, what's in that show? DeHont's wife is in that show. I was watching. I started watching it. One of a kind. He's Jack Bauer's daughter. Thanks, tips.

She's Jack Bauer's daughter. He is married to her. Yeah. Yeah. Great show. Is it? 24 good so far? Never watched it.

It was popular the same time as the wire. Someone confused the two. I don't know why. It never. It was popular the year we went to the finals because I watched it in San Jose for a while. Really? 24? Yeah.

That's all the time. Or you had to put the CD in. Had to buy that box set. Yeah. I was going to say, because you had the wire on HBO, and we as peasants in Canada, don't get that in real time.

So you had to. Right. I just wait until it's out in the box, head by the whole thing, binge it. Crystal Waters, good job. Iron B, offer sheet nyes, eight and a half times seven thoughts. Go Panthers.

Nope. They're going to match it. This will match four firsts, I think, at that price and term. Yeah. If there's anyone who will take care of business and worry about cap compliance later, it's true living.

I can't imagine anyone's going to swoop in there. If you really want to get nyes off from 11 for two years, something crazy like that, just to get them out of their organization, and then you can deal with them later. But again, your next two drafts are the McKenna and the DuPont drafts. I would not be wanting to offer you anything that requires. On the exact opposite way,

because I don't think we're a nise away. Yeah, totally agree. Like the player. Yeah, good player. Yeah, like the player. And when you can plop them next to an elite center, might look a little different than where you pop them here. It's the other thing.

Yeah. What's that made? What? Yeah, they don't have an Austin Matthews here yet. Once you get an Austin Matthews, then you bring the nice center. Yeah. Well, that'll be an issue then.

Right. That's kind of the issue. Well, there we go. That's that. And more from Arn Bay. With cap increase, re-sign Raz 8 times 8. Go Panthers.

That does feel like, ground a bit. It's not he times nine. It's not seven million a year. I still wonder. I just can't decide if I, I can really be swayed back and forth with Rasmus Anderson because I think he's a good player. I think he likes it here. I think he's been a good soldier for you. I think he's got leadership in that room. Does he help you when you need it? And if you see the asset you covet over the next eight years or is it someone new that you don't know about? yet that you want to give it that comes by moving him, are you increasing your chances of having a high end player?

I think Rasmus is a hell of a player, but if you move them, you're going to get something in return. And is that going to be an asset that is more beneficial? And your old pick's going to get better. You don't delete Rasmus Anderson get better next year, right? You understand that? That's a good point. So not only you're going to get the assets back,

but your own first might, instead of being 11th, be seventh or something. I mean, we're just throwing numbers around. But you're not going to be better by deleting Rasmus. You're not bringing back a guy that's, oh, he's 27 and his prime. And no, like this is going to be a present for futures type deal. First prospect, maybe a roster guy to fill a hole for a bit. Your pick will get better.

And I don't think. R&B brings it up, though. I think that might be a very fair deal for both sides. I just don't see the timelines matching. That's the problem I have with. all of it is that eight times eight sure fine both team i think i don't know if rassas i don't know what rasmus values himself

but for my point of view that's fair yeah and it's going to carry him 37 that's you know you might be underpaid for a bit he's probably going to be overpaid at the end yeah but it's still the right thing for the flames to do yeah for the and if you move rasmus is that a signal that no no no we're

are going to make some we're comfortable going in the other direction yeah i think uh before you get to the next thing it would signal to the coleman two years left backland one year left codry four years left that hmm and if you really are involved in a rebuild it can't be just rasmus and okay well now we've rebuilt like you're going to need to again this needs to get torn back a lot more if you want to go to the top of the draft and find future stars Which I don't think any of us are convinced that's what they're doing or care to do. They're not. Or under the directive to do.

Yeah, they're not pushing it forward, but they're letting it happen as contracts expire. But I think they should get more aggressive. That building opens in all of a sudden two years from the fall. You want to be good when it opens, right? I don't give a shit about it. I do want to be good when it opens, but I'm still not. I can't circle the start of a rink opening as we have. to perform by this point.

It's a rough guide maybe, but just because of rinks opening, I'm not going to go, okay, now I'm going to sign nyes to that deal. Do you know what I mean? Like, I can't go all.

If the cards don't play out the right way, it doesn't matter that the rinks opening. I agree. It's more of a case to an owner that's very bottom line focused because you are going to be asking people to pay a lot more for the exact same things. It can't look like the exact same team they have now. That won't go well.

If you drive this bus straight, through just keep driving the bus as it is. And you say you do resign Anderson and it's eight times eight. At what point does everyone disappear the older guys? Like what did you just say? Backland's got a year. He would be an attractive rental at any point moving forward. Rentals probably too strong a word if it's this year, but you know what I mean.

Proven winner. Great. Third line. Talked about it yesterday. Stanley Cup finals, third lines. Backland with a year left. Does he want to be a one jersey captain guy? or does he want to go chase a cup somewhere

last year his deal. Caudry at 4 is the big one, especially when you start thinking about your own pick. There is no reasonable facsimile of a top two center if Cadry's gone. I'm just curious. Like with all this Backland and Coleman, what's that?

9, 10 million? Coleman's 4.9. Backlons 3.5. So that's 8.4. I'm just thinking, where do you go spend the money? Yeah, if you just ride it out and a couple more contracts come off for a year or two, later are you in a position then what are you going into the rank where you can go yeah we've got

30 million dollars to go spend on whoever happens to maybe be a free agent kill my car just more c britton point all you calgary bow is come on home we got the money who are you impersonating right oh yeah this character you're doing i'm craig carroy oh okay yeah it's new craig i got cashphrase and money pow pow pow yeah it does sound like connie yeah just wanted to clarify it oh shucks guy sorry i was just trying on this new thing. Well, that's, you know what that is? That's Conroy at Stampede. Right.

He's got his, you know, that's Cowboy had the shooters. Yeah, he's really got that Western thing going. We got, we got plenty of time to talk about it. It's all summer. Yeah, we can wrap it for it today. Tomorrow, Friday. Hawaiian T-shirt Day. Why on T-shirt Day?

Potentially early start tomorrow. So for those that, if you set your life to the start time of Barnburner, I apologize, because that's rough. But also could be an earlier. start to the show tomorrow also i laid out a Hawaiian shirt for you on the couch there yeah thanks for that see how that looks on you perfect jack how was the show today good show i've been dealing with these Russian bots invading our chats i know what's going what do they look like are they speaking oh it's

there's one i can pull it up they keep coming how do we get so popular here oh thanks a lot of supreme you might be in trouble i don't know there's a go maybe huge are you are you go why aren't they talking about sharing of well let you work on that they need more mirror man of talk on this yeah yeah okay kind of half-hearted yeah okay it's kind of how i feel about it too to be fair but uh hey uh we'll see you buddy
